I have been talking with Carl for quite a few
months now and have learned one thing for sure...
he is going to be a worthy competitor when he
starts entering some knife throwing events!

He also has lots of good fishing tips :)

Thanks for sharing the knowledge Carl!!!

A FEW TARGET IDEAS
by Carl Geddes

My targets are Palm Tree rounds. Palm wood is
soft, so the knife sticks easily. Palm also lasts
fairly well when you only throw knives.

I can get about 3 months of regular, three times a
week, throwing before I need to replace the rounds.

I mounted the rounds with 6" lag screws which I
screwed in from the back so I wouldn't hit any metal
with my knives.

The other piece of wood that you see in the middle of
the targets is Eucalyptus. It's a harder wood that I
use to "catch" tomahawks.

As you know, tomahawks really tear up a target
quickly. The harder Eucalyptus holds up much better
than the Palm when you are throwing tomahawks.

Also, since I have a narrow throwing alley I mounted
my targets on a "gate-like" affair that swivels out of
the way when I'm not throwing.
